Improv Everywhere, a group that “causes scenes of chaos and joy in public places” has stricken again, this time in Brooklyn. They handed out 2,000 or so invisible dog leashes to participants and had everyone go for a nice Sunday walk in Brooklyn. Brooklyn residents were a little surprised to say the least. Videos of other Improv Everywhere “missions” are here.

A new series of YouTube videos titled “Auto-Tune the News” takes video clips of reporters and politicians and mashes them up to create entertaining music videos. The creator of the videos, Michael Gregory, uses the software program Auto-Tune (which is used by musicians like Cher and T-Pain) to change the pitch of reporters/politicians voices and a green screen (which allows for one image to be placed on top of another) to spice up the visuals.

The video embedded above has one of the catchiest tunes out of the videos released so far. It starts to get good around the 42-second mark, when Joe Biden’s hidden singing talent is revealed.

You might think watching someone peel a banana isn’t very interesting, but this video will change your mind. The guy in the video demonstrates how monkeys eat bananas, which consists of pinching the bottom and peeling from there. It absolutely blows my mind that I’ve never seen anyone do this before now. My banana eating habits will forever be changed.
